Phone call; 4 PM labs ACTH: 71.8 Cortisol: 20.9 Midnight salivary cortisol: not sufficient sample X 2 MRI: Ordered Dex suppression test: 8 mg at midnight 8 am cortisol: 1.3 ACTH: 3.6 MRI: See following images
Elevated ACTH/cortisol at 1600; loss of diurnal cortisol pattern 24 hr urine cortisol/mid salivary cortisol Low Intermediat e High obesity pseudocushing suppressed Low dose dex Suppression test Unsuppressed Suppressed = pituitary source No suppression = Ectopic ACTH or adrenal tumor Hypercortisolem ia High dose dex
MRI Results There is a sellar mass with suprasellar extension and what appears to be indentation at the diaphragmatic sella based on sagittal image seven and demonstrating enhancement, overall measuring approximately 10 x 11 x 12 mm in AP, transverse, and craniocaudal dimensions, respectively, with involvement of the pituitary infundibulum.
